DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improved fishing three-anchor hook.

[0002]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved three-anchor fishhook which has a great ability to bite a bait and hold a fish penetrated in at least one of the baits. The use of an anchor hook substantially increases the rate of catch per bite.

[0003]

According to the present invention, there is provided a three-anchor fishhook having an increased holding capacity for preventing a fish caught from being escaped due to its geometric shape. Furthermore, importantly, when a fish tries to spit or swallow a needle, the three-anchor hook of the present invention penetrates more tightly and deeper into the jaw of the fish, thus reducing the number of fish that can escape. Become. The three-anchor hook according to the invention comprises three barbs, each of which is symmetrically arranged at equal intervals about the axis of a single shank portion via a curved portion. Each curved portion is bent outwardly from the shank portion so as to be included in a plane inclined at an angle of about 14 to about 22 degrees with respect to the axis of the shank. The barb portion is carried on the end of the curved portion opposite the side joined to the shank and is disposed in a plane that projects at an angle of about 14 to about 22 degrees with respect to the plane containing the curved portion. Angle. When a fish biting into the bait and piercing the barb attempts to pull or exhale the needle, the barb tip of the barb bites into the fish diagonally, and the fish pulls or spins around the needle. Every time you try to jump and remove the needle, the tip of the needle spirals,
After all, in almost all cases two or all three barbs penetrate the fish.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The three-anchor hook according to the present invention has first and second anchors.
A conventional elongated shank portion 10 having an end is included. The first end of the elongated shank portion 10 is provided with a suitable annular portion 12 to which a flexible draw string (not shown) can be attached in a conventional manner. In most three-anchor hooks, the elongate shank portion 10 actually has three straight members secured to each other as shown.
The longitudinal axes of the two members are parallel. Conventionally, a three-anchor fishhook includes curved portions attached to three members of the elongated shank portion 10, and three barbs are carried at equal intervals at outer end positions of the curved portions. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the three curved portions 14, 16 and 18 are constituted by rigid wires or the like, one end of each curved portion being connected to one member of the elongated shank portion 10 and having a sharp end at its free end. Barbs or tips are carried. Thus, curved portion 14 carries barbs 20 at its outer end position. Similarly, the outer end of the curved portion 16 has a barb 2
2 and a barb 24 at the outer end of the curved portion 18.

The curved sections 14, 16 and 18 are equiangularly spaced about the axis of the elongated shank section 10, so that each pair of curved sections defines an angle of about 120 degrees between them. . Each curved part is an elongated shank part 1
0 and is located in a plane extending outwardly at an angle of about 14 degrees to about 22 degrees with respect to the longitudinal axis of the elongated shank portion 10. This relationship is best illustrated in FIGS. In FIG. 3, the angle of the axis of the elongate shank portion relative to the plane containing the curved portion 14 is shown as α. This angle α is preferably about 18 degrees. FIG.
The barbs carried on the outer free end of each curved portion are each bent laterally, i.e., extend at an angle β of about 14 degrees to about 25 degrees with respect to the main plane in which the curved parts are located. Oriented to be located in a plane. The preferred offset angle, ie, the angle β is about 2
0 degrees. Thus, the barbs and their respective curved sections are disposed in a relatively angled offset plane, the plane of the curved sections having an angle with respect to the plane containing the longitudinal axis of the elongated shank section.

The angle of inclination of the connection of the curved portion to the elongated shank portion and the angle of the barb with respect to the curved portion allow the fish to contact the one of the barbs with the three anchor fishhook of the present invention. Cause it to occur. In other words, the slant or the tip of the elongate shank portion is angled like steam with respect to the plane containing the curved portion, and is rotated by the three-anchor hook of the present invention as it penetrates the mouth of the fish. Penetration of the hooks, or barbs, along a swirling or twisting path makes it more difficult for fish to spit or swallow. Although the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, it will be understood that many modifications may be made within the invention.

[0007]

The present invention provides an improved three-anchor hook that has a great ability to bite a bait and hold a fish inserted through at least one of the bait.
